Baked Chicken Firecrackers

These Baked Chicken Firecrackers make for a great appetizer or a quick after-school snack. They are similar to a Southwest Egg Roll and easy to make!

If you are making these as an appetizer you can cut them in half or in thirds to make for easier eating for a crowd. Your guests will love how these little firecrackers burst with flavor (they aren’t spicy at all so if you want to add a kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the mix).

If making as a snack for the kids, usually just one chicken firecracker will do the trick to curb hunger until dinnertime. I like to make these up completely and then freeze them so I can cook them up one or two at a time as needed. They re-heat best in the oven (400 degrees for about 15 minutes) but most of the time I just throw them in the microwave for about 40 seconds to 1 minute. These would also be great for someone who needs a quick lunch on the go or for any of you college students out there. Just make up a bunch at one time and freeze for later! These take a little bit of prep time, but not much. You will be glad you made them up when you are in need of a quick snack or lunch!
